In addition to the bi-xenon system in one-piece housings for the 4th gen, we need a cheaper/stronger alternative for limited slip. (aint gunna happen)

An aftermarket VQ30DE intake manifold that replicates the VQ30DE-K's performance but can fit a 4th gen with no problems. No, MEVI does not qualify.

An ECU for 98-99's.

A turbo kit that I'm not scared to buy.

I could go on but nobody thats reading this thread is going to do anything anyway...

More NA bolt ons, like a produced larger throttle body- no the Pathfinder one doesn't count.

Fender flares would be cool, until everybody bought them. How about a wide body kit

More suspension mods to stiffen up the chassis/ make things rattle less.

Oh yeah, RWD conversion kit

Seriously though, if you could make some clear/red for the 95-96 guys that would be the best. Of course, others have said it before, but nobody has ever came through.

^---- yes.

having to sacrifice mid range power with a MEVI is stupid. I don't want to spend another $400-500 on an ECU upgrade just to bring my car's power under 5k RPM back to where it was stock before a MEVI upgrade.

and about the 95-96 red/clears... don't hold your breath. every single person on this thread could have replied in support of them and I still doubt they'd be made. people have been asking for too long... if it was going to happen, it would have happened already.

I'm not pessimistic, I'm realistic. sorry guys.

mchne: Agreed. THey still get my vote, but unlikely that it will happen. 95-96 maximas are getting really old, so I doubt there will be any new aftermarket parts for them that are exclusive to those 2 years.
